With yesterday's announcement that BioWare's co-founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka will be retiring from the company they built together, BioWare General Manager, Aaryn Flynn issued a statement regarding the future of the developer and its franchises, including Mass Effect.

While we noted that Mass Effect 3 will be getting single-player story DLC in the form of the Omega add-on coming this fall, we didn't really draw as much attention to it within the news piece as we should have. So, here it is in full, from Aaryn Flynn's statement:

"Executive Producer Casey Hudson and his team are coming off an amazing eight-year run with the Mass Effect trilogy. But they’re not done yet. We are releasing more multiplayer content and we have more single-player stories coming throughout the next six months, including Omega which is coming in the Fall. But the Mass Effect universe is vast, and Casey and our teams have plans for another full game. “Where to go next?” with such a project has been a question a lot of us have been asking, and we’d all love to hear your ideas."

That's right. BioWare is planning another full Mass Effect game, while Casey Hudson and his team are also "putting together their vision for an all new game set in a fictional universe, built from the bottom-up with all new gaming technology." A new next-gen BioWare IP? Yup.

Exciting stuff.

  • I hope the new game is James Vega's story .... though they could pull a Shepard prequel ....somehow lol
  • @1 : Maybe Shepard's story before the Reapers and from that story why he was chosen by Udina and Anderson in the first ME.
  • I'll buy the game, i just pray Bioware actually ends the game properly this time - comparing the endings before and after the extended cut, you can see why people were so annoyed and upset, it felt like an idea left purely in the alpha stages of development from Bioware, not an end product.
  • Could not care less, the quality is gone now with the creators of Bioware along with the lead writer signing out, and now ME will be runned by the guy who personally wrote the ending, yay...
  • I'd like to see the story of the protheans and their fight against the reapers. Waaaaaaay before Shepard and company. It's an excellent opportunty to expand the ME universe. But even more, we can see a succesful destruction of the galaxy by the reapers. What happens afterwards, how they create the new reaper (me2 human reaper was crap), all the races of that era, etc.
  • I think, having finished them all and enjoying them, I am done with ME. Its not a game that is DLC friendly to me (have downloaded none as of yet other than the one that came with the release, prothean whatever), I played 3, I finished 3, end of story, thank you for the memories.
  • it could be a game that is just like assasins creed, but with thane krios as the protagonist
  • An EA franchise being whored out? How shocking! I never dreamed this could happen!
  • "Executive Producer Casey Hudson and his team are coming off an amazing eight-year run with the Mass Effect trilogy." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The first few years were amazing, but these last ones? Not so much. Anyway, sorry I can't offer you your choice of amazing endings to this comment that reflect your choices from 3 different news posts, but the comments section of this site doesn't support changing your text to red, blue, or green colors.
